Progressing through the main story in My Time at Sandrock means unlocking more equipment and machines to help you repair the town. While your Recycler and Worktable will bring you a long way, you’ll need other machines to advance the story and succeed as a builder. There’s a bit more to unlocking new crafting stations in My Time at Sandrock than you might think, involving collecting research resources and purchasing them.

In My Time at Sandrock, you unlock new crafting stations by researching blueprints at the Research Center. Though, it’s important to note that before you can unlock any new crafting stations in My Time at Sandrock in the Research Center, you must first obtain Data Discs.

Data Discs can be found by doing various actions around Sandrock. One of the most common ways to collect Data Discs is to mine in Abandoned Ruins as you find and uncover them. You can also get them by interacting with Junk Piles and collecting Scrap from dilapidated structures.

In exchange for Data Discs, you can research different machine blueprints. You can also spend data discs to speed up the time it takes to research your chosen crafting station. You’ll unlock new crafting stations that you can then make at your Assembly Station within your own workshop. However, if you want to upgrade any of your machines, you’ll also have to research the upgraded machine blueprint. In particular, the following crafting stations are ones you’ll want to prioritize:

  1. Furnace
  2. Grinder
  3. Processor
  4. Refiner
  5. Tailoring Machine
  6. Forging Machine

After obtaining a blueprint in the mail once you’ve unlocked it in the Research Station, head to your Assembly Station and build the machine. While you’ll still need various crafting materials to make different crafting stations, you don’t need to unlock each blueprint more than once. Furthermore, each crafting station is also helpful for completing commissions.

Sandrock Construction Junction

Alternatively, if you’re looking to upgrade your Assembly Station or build animal housing, your destination will be Construction Junction. You’ll find Construction Junction next to the City Hall. Head to the shop and interact with the Catalog. Select Structures to see the Assembly Station upgrade and three different animal buildings. While you are not required to build the animal shelter structures to advance the story, you’ll need to upgrade your Assembly Station here later on.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
